The primary reason for sending a burn client home with a pressure garment, such as a Jobst garment, is that the garment:

  • A. Decreases hypertrophic scar formation
  • B. Assists with ambulation
  • C. Covers burn scars and decreases the psychological impact during recovery
  • D. Increases venous return and cardiac output by normalizing fluid status
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
(A) Tubular support, such as that received with a Jobst garment, applies tension of 1020 mm Hg. This amount of uniform pressure is necessary to prevent or reduce hypertrophic scarring. Clients typically wear a pressure garment for 612 months during the recovery phase of their care. (B) Pressure garments have no ambulatory assistive properties. (C) Pressure garments can worsen the psychological impact of burn injury, especially if worn on the face. (D) Pressure garments do not normalize fluid status.
